After snapping their scoreless streak in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Fort Lauderdale, the Scorpions will attempt to shore up their leaky defense.

The Scorpions yielded six goals in the last two matches, and the last two NASL Offensive Players of the Week — Fort Lauderdale striker Andy Herron and Puerto Rico striker Jonathan Fana — won the award at their expense. Both players scored two goals.

Scorpions coach Tim Hankinson's goal is to not be the victim of another POW for the rest of the season, which continues Saturday at Carolina.

“We've given up six goals the last two weeks, and that's too much,” Hankinson said. “We just have to do a better job.”

Hannigan out: Starting keeper Pat Hannigan is expected to miss the next four to six weeks after fracturing a fibula during a collision late in Saturday's match.

He'll be replaced by Daryl Sattler, who played for Tampa Bay the last two seasons.

“They're both of equal value,” Hankinson said. “Pat just happened to have the upper hand. We're very comfortable with (Sattler) between the posts.”

Discipline: Starting right back Wes Knight and reserve midfielder Luiz Tiago have been given automatic one-game suspensions and fined $100 after receiving red cards for their roles in the altercation at the end of last week's draw.

Hankinson said Tiago didn't deserve his card after serving as a peacekeeper. But with no video footage of the borderline brawl, disciplinary efforts were difficult. Two Fort Lauderdale players were also given red cards.

Despite the cards, Hankinson said he wasn't unhappy with his team's feistiness.

“We walk, every day in practice, in games, the tightrope of competition,” he said. “Learning where that line is is important. We weren't physical in any regard against Puerto Rico (a 4-0 loss), so it was important for us to test that line.”
